Cuba’s 24 year-old light flyweight Yosbany Veitia came third at the 2010 AIBA World Youth Championships, following it with bronze and silver at the elite World Championships in 2013 and 2015. Veitia’s WSB debut came in the form of a Season IV win over Mexico’s Joselito Velasquez, the first in an eight-match winning streak that helped the Cubans to take the title. That run was stretched to 15 bouts in Season V, halted only by Kazakhstan’s Olzhas Sattibayev in the final, and crucial wins in this year’s Quarter- and Semi-Finals leave him in confident mood ahead of a third final in three attempts.
